Currently I am involved as a senior researcher at the AUAS Centre of Expertise City Net Zero and as a PhD candidate/researcher at MU Maastricht Sustainability Institute, studying circular business models and collaborative business model experimentation together with urban innovators, entrepreneurial frontrunners, researchers and engaged university students. I have always enjoyed running a small business and experimenting with technology to facilitate sustainable business models and I consider myself fortunate and thankful to work within an engaged international community of social entrepreneurs, NGO's, educational institutions and very talented university students. During the early years of the internet I started my career as a business intelligence webmaster in the media and high-tech manufacturing industry (Philips/NXP). Around the millennium switch, I moved from product management and business development in digital media (Wolters-Kluwer/Intrabouw, Nozema/KPN) to industrial (e-)procurement and international distribution in packaging steel (Tata Steel, EVO). I also started teaching young professionals at the local University of Applied Sciences during evening hours, and by subsequently developing these activities at various Dutch universities as from 2007, I was fortunate to introduce numerous students and professionals into the dynamics of strategic marketing, supply chain management, entrepreneurship and sustainable business models. My personal goals: - increase my research and coaching skills in order to inspire practitioners, young professionals, academic colleagues and my children to explore new opportunities for improvement and creating sustainable impact - connect people from various cultural backgrounds and nationalities in order to exchange ideas and improve cooperation, common sense, health, biodiversity and quality of life - experiment, travel and explore new ideas And thus: - develop a more innovative, healthy and sustainable environment; - have fun, be inspired and learn from people and new surroundings; - stimulate and grow creative thinking, innovation, cooperation and common sense; - beeing there 🐝.
